Objective To investigate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in differential diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocysts,cystadenomas and cystadenocarcinomas,so as to improve diagnostic accuracy of the condition.Methods The results of CEUS and conventional ultrasound for 71 patients with pancreatic cystic lesions were analyzed retrospectively,and compared with the finally obtained surgical-pathological examination to assess the ability of qualitative diagnosis between two methods.Results In 71 pancreatic cystic lesions,there were 32 pancreatic pseudocysts,24 cystadenomas and 15 cystadenocarcinomas.The sensitivity and accuracy of CEUS for pancreatic pseudocysts and cystadenocarcinomas were 84.4%,93.0% and 86.7%,88.7%,which were higher than those of conventional ultrasound 56.3 %,80.3 % and 53.3 %,74.6% (x2 =6.06,4.92,3.97,4.71,all P < 0.05).Conclusion There are some similarities in terms of imaging manifestations among pancreatic pseudocysts,cystadenomas and cystadenocarcinomas.Combining conventional ultrasound with CEUS can help the differential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lesions.

ObjectiveTo investigate the endoscopic and clinical characteristics of gastrointestinal Behcet's disease (BD). MethodsWe analyzed the clinical and follow-up data of 27 patients with gastrointestinal BD retrospectively.Results Most common locations involved were esophagus and ileocecum,74. 1% (20/27) and 59. 3% (16/27), respectively. The most common parenteral symptoms were oral ulcers (85.2%), genital ulcers (25.9%), ophthalmitis (7. 4% ) and skin damage (7. 4% ). The most common gastrointestinal symptom was chest pain (48. 1%, 13/27). Ulcer was the basic endoscopic feature,most of which were with uneven bottom and peripheral inflammatory response. There was no difference in endoscopic features between typical BD and atypical BD. Pathology showed typical small vasculitis (44. 4%,12/27). ConclusionClinical manifestations of intestinal BD vary. Symptoms are not necessarily consistent with the involved locations. A small number of patients with BD present with gastrointestinal symptoms as the first and only symptom, with serious complications in some patients. Physicians need to be fully aware of the disease.
